Ufology

Ufology is the study and investigation of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and related phenomena involving potential extraterrestrial visitation. It emerged as a popular field of interest in the mid-20th century following widespread sightings and reports, blending elements of aerospace research, eyewitness testimony, and folklore.

While mainstream science generally explains UFO sightings as natural or man-made phenomena such as atmospheric events, aircraft, or optical illusions, ufology incorporates a diverse range of interpretations including government secrecy, alien encounters, and conspiracy theories. Folklore and cultural narratives also influence how these phenomena are perceived and reported across different societies.
